| Notes |
- Peter inherited his father’s plantation in Shenandoah Co., "400 acres on the drains of Stony Creek," where he continued to make his home.
This branch of the family seemed to be obsessed with the idea of restricting their land to their families.
Peter wrote his will on 4 Sept 1800. He specified that his wife, Mary, was "to keep the land and plantation whereon I now live until my two sons, Joseph and Jacob, come of age and they are not to sell it until it comes to their children’s children" (Shenandoah Wills E-373). In 1813, Jacob and Joseph Dodson confirmed this land to each other by deed (Shenandoah deeds U-524,526). This may have been done at the time their mother died.
The fact that Peter, born in 1735, had minor children in 1800 could be an indication that he was married twice. He could have had older children by a prior marriage who were not dealt with in his will. Or, this could only mean that he married late in life. A thorough study of Shenandoah Co. records would probably reveal much about this family. [3]
